yes! A meta syntax analysis of the wikileaks emails could reveal a lot. Comparing the relative frequency of certain words and phrases to their occurrence in the English language in general. The first data point needed would be the total word count for the entire Wikileaks email set. Then do like this: the word "barbecue" appears once every 1,000,000 words in a wide sampling of English language emails, books, articles, etc. But the same word appears as 1 in 10,000 in the wikileaks emails. (just making up the numbers here)
